From the day
Perspective: The Street Photographer · Tactile
I lean against the brick, watching a newbie struggle to frame a girl in oversized sunglasses and a layered chiffon skirt. My fingers trace the rough denim of my jacket as I dig for change, grumbling that a simple loaf of bread now eats up $1.12 of my pocket money. The street smells of rain and overpriced lattes, the silence broken only by the rhythmic scuff of Ugg boots on the pavement. I adjust my lens, capturing the flash of a sleek Xbox 360 box tucked under a teenager’s arm as he disappears into the hazy afternoon light.
